[1]Duringthe 1904 strikes in Russia, Russian Social-Democratic
organisations in London set up a Russian Strike Relief Commit tee, which
appealed to British trade unions for assistance. It was also decided to
turn to the Labour Representation Committee, of which Ramsay MacDonald was
secretary. The Committee responded, on condition that part of the money be
used to help the widows and orphans of the numerous victims of the
January 9 (22), 1905, massacre.
